The Retros
We discuss the best picture decisions made by the Academy and whether they were right or wrong...we decide! We also discuss the many different categories and movies of the particular Oscar year we are reviewing and add a few new categories ourselves.
You can find us at any of the major social media at theretrospodcast or you can also write to us at theretrospodcast@gmail.com.
